The big day is near. Parts should be arriving to my detail partner Imperial Works tomorrow. Got these photos sent over from Carbon Composites by MAD. Who the heck is that you may ask?

As many of you are aware Carbon2Carbon pulled down their online site. Chris owned that company and used it for the GT350 parts. Chris is now consolidating Carbon2Carbon into his pre-esxisting MAD industries umbrella. I will be working with them to launch the new web page, and bring a nice group buy to the site for the spring/summer. Until then, here are some photos of what’s coming :headbang:

Just finished up my install of the full Carbon Composites by MAD exterior carbon fiber kit. 16 hours later we have some photos. Car was filthy, but we got something to work with. More pics and details to come later. For now, feast....

I mounted it left of center, opposite of the passenger front hook so if it had to get pulled there are two different angles to work from.

Noticed your back up light is red...did you add a foglight to it?

Do you know if CC intends to make a non-R CF wing (track pack)?

I actually added a whole new housing from iJDM Toy. Install sucked, but I like it.

The carbon fiber track pack wing is also available already.

Here are a couple of recent photos of the SV701 on my GT350R. Got invited to a local show called Karmecca and it was pretty cool. Lots of hard parked activity though. I have been debating lowering the car and adding the DSC Sport Controller. The Carbon Composites by MAD front splitter has the scrape armor attached which is pretty robust. I would like to reduce some of the wheel gap while retaining the same spring rate, or as close to it as possible. My thought is that lowering the car 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch will make it look great, while the added ability of the DSC controller to control suspension changes may save me on public roads. Been at this crossroads before and trying not to tempt fate. Any input?

Those new wheels look great!

Regarding ride height, my regular GT350 scrapes the splitter all the time, so I would not want to go any lower. In fact, that is a big reason why I am not interested enough in an R to make the switch.

I think your car is looking great, but at the same time if you feel it needs to be a bit lower, it is probably worth it to give it a shot. You can always swap back if needed.

I know that even though I don't really want an R, I still wonder what it would be like to have one, so sometimes you just need to throw caution to the wind and go with your gut. Not sure if that helps with your decision.
